The one-minute self-care ritual I practice every day.
Not too long ago—and yet, it feels like another lifetime—my two-hour train and bus rides to work, and long days once I got there, were starting to wear me out. I don’t think I fully comprehended just how much energy the commutes were taking out of me. Until I did.
To help, I tried several things: listening to podcasts on my commute, a quick midday workout, but I couldn’t shake that out-of-sorts feeling. I considered trying a daily meditation routine—my friends had boundless ideas and apps to offer—but the problem was that most required setting aside 20 minutes of my time each day. I did not have 20 minutes . Or perhaps I was just overwhelmed by the idea of sitting still, in complete silence, for long stretches of time.
I decided to give it another try, not least because I remembered it taking less than a minute. Yes—just one minute. I’ll admit at first I was slightly dismissive of any long-lasting effects, because, I mean, could 60 seconds really makeI figured I could give it a week and see if I felt something…anything. By the third day, the feeling of sleepwalking through my days was gone. By the fourth, I started to feel much more present and my energy levels were up.
I don’t think I would have ever tried to make meditation a more natural part of my everyday routine if I hadn’t given this a chance. But most of all, it taught me that, sometimes, the best thing you can do during a hectic day is simply stop. For just one minute.
